Lincoln's Curry Riders
The plenitude of earthly thoughts
Is quite beyond my ken
Who tinkers thus with fancy stuff
Meets his come-uppance soon enough.
The destitute end up in court
With barristers and thieves,
Although, perhaps, they little ought
Be seen about to sneeze
They stifle coughs in linen print
And scratch because of fleas.
Vacuity's as good as food
The barrister did say,
Those tinkers can eat mud and fluff
But I can never get enough
Caviar with which to stuff
The briefs that do me pay
Vacuuming? I'm not in the mood
For sucking up old dross!
Who hoovers up time's detritus
Is really a little Titus!
The prostitution rests its case
Upon a lectern dusty
(They never seem to clean this place
And leave it always rusty)
And yet voir dire is quite pristine
Though meter's shot to hell.
The rhyme is borderline obscene
I'll end it then, oh...well...
